We’ve worked on Whittier homes since 1984.

Our Gutters & Accessories Services in Whittier
Seamless Gutters
Whittier’s historic Uptown bungalows, with their 1920s skip-sheathing and original clay tile, commonly lack any gutter system or have undersized box gutters that fail to handle Santa Ana wind-driven rain. We retrofit seamless gutters onto irregular eaves without damaging the original fascia. Our aluminum seamless systems are custom-formed on site to match your roofline’s exact length, eliminating the leak-prone seams that plague sectional gutters. For historic properties near Greenleaf Avenue, we can match period-appropriate profiles - half-round, K-style, or custom - while ensuring proper drainage that protects your foundation and landscaping.
A typical seamless gutter installation on a Whittier home runs $1,200-$2,400 depending on linear footage, story height, and whether we need to address fascia rot first.
Gutter Repair
After every Santa Ana wind event, our phones light up with calls from Whittier Hills and north Whittier. Loose gutter sections on skip-sheathed roofs pull away from fascia, ripping out old nails and leaving gaps that invite pests and water damage. We don’t just re-nail and hope. We inspect the fascia board behind the gutter, replace rotted wood where needed, and install proper hidden hangers that grip the structure, not just the trim. For homes with original copper or galvanized systems, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the smarter spend.
Most gutter repairs in Whittier fall between $180-$650.
Fascia Repair
Fascia rot is the hidden killer in Whittier’s older homes. When original copper box gutters corrode at soldered seams - common on pre-1940 homes near Uptown - water backs up under clay tile and saturates the fascia board behind. By the time you notice paint peeling or gutters sagging, the wood is often punky halfway through. We remove the damaged section, sister in new lumber where needed, and wrap with aluminum coil stock to prevent recurrence. This is not cosmetic work. It’s structural. And on skip-sheathed roofs, the fascia is often the only solid attachment point for your gutter system.
Fascia repair in Whittier typically runs $350-$900 depending on linear footage and accessibility.
Gutter Guard Installation
Whittier’s mix of mature sycamores, eucalyptus, and coastal live oak means gutters clog year-round, not just in fall. On clay tile roofs - common in 90601 and 90602 - standard mesh guards often sit too flat, letting debris slide under the tile lip and accumulate where you can’t see it. We install gutter guards designed for tile roof profiles, with raised mounting that respects your roof’s water flow pattern. No generic big-box solution. The right guard for your actual roof.
Gutter guard installation in Whittier averages $8-$15 per linear foot.

Common Gutters & Accessories Problems We See in Whittier Homes
- Original copper or galvanized box gutters corroding at seams. On pre-1940 homes near Uptown and the Greenleaf Avenue corridor, soldered seams in original metal gutters fail after 80+ years of thermal cycling. Water seeps through, runs behind the gutter, and rots fascia and rafter tails before you ever see a drip.
- Oversized downspouts overwhelmed on hillside lots. Whittier Hills properties often collect runoff from multiple roof valleys into a single downspout. The volume exceeds capacity during heavy rain, causing overflow that erodes soil against foundations and undermines hardscaping.
- Gutter sections torn loose by Santa Ana winds. The Whittier Narrows gap funnels northeast winds onto exposed rooflines. Gutters fastened with old spikes or inadequate hangers rip free, especially on skip-sheathed roofs where there’s no solid decking to grip.
- Missing or failed gutter systems on historic homes. Many 1920s craftsmans were built without gutters, or with primitive box gutters integrated into the cornice. Owners added sectional aluminum later, poorly. We see this mismatch constantly on calls to 90601 and 90602.

FAQs - Gutters & Accessories in Whittier
Seamless gutters are strongly recommended for skip-sheathed roofs because they eliminate leak-prone seams and can be hung with hidden brackets that don’t require decking penetration. On a 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival near Greenleaf Avenue, we found original copper half-round gutters that had been patched with asphalt mastic after the 1987 earthquake; the skip-sheathing beneath the clay tile prevented direct attachment, so we installed hidden hangers through the fascia and matched the new seamless aluminum gutters to the historic profile, ensuring drainage without compromising the roofline. The cost for this type of retrofit in Whittier typically runs $1,400-$2,200. Call (877) 367-1429 and we’ll assess your specific eave condition.
Your gutters are likely fastened with old spikes or nails into rotted fascia, not proper hidden hangers into solid structure. The Whittier Narrows gap funnels Santa Ana winds onto north- and east-facing rooflines, and loose fasteners give way under that repeated stress. We see this most on skip-sheathed homes where there’s no solid decking to grip. Our repair includes inspecting and replacing damaged fascia, then installing hidden hangers spaced every 24 inches into solid wood. Most repairs run $350-$650. Call (877) 367-1429 before the next wind event.
Copper gutters can be repaired if the damage is limited to a few seams or small holes, but replacement is usually more cost-effective once corrosion is widespread. In Whittier’s Uptown historic district, we often find copper box gutters where multiple seams have been patched repeatedly since the 1980s - each patch weaker than the last. We give you an honest assessment: repair estimate versus replacement estimate, with photos showing exactly what we’re seeing. Repair runs $250-$500; matching replacement with period-appropriate half-round profiles runs $1,800-$3,200. Call (877) 367-1429 for a free evaluation.
Steep-pitch work requires specialized ladder positioning, roof anchors, and crews trained for height safety - not every gutter crew is equipped for this. Whittier Hills properties often combine steep pitches with multiple roof valleys that concentrate water volume. We size downspouts and gutter capacity for that concentrated flow, and we never send a flat-lot crew to a hillside job. Installation costs run $1,800-$2,400 for steep-pitch homes due to access complexity. Call (877) 367-1429 - we’ll walk your roofline and give you a number that accounts for the actual conditions.
Micro-mesh guards with raised mounting brackets designed for tile roof profiles work best, because standard flat-mount guards allow debris to slide under the tile lip and accumulate on the underlayment. On clay tile roofs in 90601 and 90602, we install guards that maintain proper water flow angle without disturbing existing tile. Cheap screen guards from hardware stores typically fail within two seasons here. Quality micro-mesh runs $10-$15 per linear foot installed. Call (877) 367-1429 for a free assessment of your tile and gutter configuration.
